We’re getting in the Halloween spirit by looking at the 20 most disturbing children from classically frightening TV shows and movies. These little pint-sized terrors commit killer acts, have spooky eyes, creepy pigtails, and more. You’ll be thanking your lucky stars for your own kids by the end of this list! –Mike Shields

Damien Thorn 1 of 20

Seriously, his father was the devil, his mom was a jackal, and his followers hang themselves. "It's all for you, Damien!"Photo credit: my.spill.com

Isaac from Children of the Corn 2 of 20

This kid somehow looks both 10 years old and 50 at the same time. And he commanded an army of bad kids who lived in the cornfields. And that voice. If your kid ever starts talking like that, you need to drop him off in Iowa and never look back.Photo credit: DVDbeaver.com

Reagan from the Exorcist 3 of 20

Reagan was actually a nice little girl but only when her body wasn't being possessed by Satan — at which point she would crawl upside down, make the room cold, and speak Italian. "Demi, why?" Photo credit: Captainhowdy.com

Rosemary’s Baby 4 of 20

While we don't see much of how this baby's life turns out, it is literally the spawn of Satan, so we're guessing it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Photo credit: Scarehouse.typepad.com

Michael Myers from Halloween 5 of 20

Michael does most of his damage as a grown man, but he got off to a hell of a start at age six, stabbing his sister and parents. Photo credit: chasingthefrog.com

Baby from It’s Alive 6 of 20

This was not really a good movie, but the idea of an infant who starts killing people right after he's born while making a wheezy breathing noise is downright creepy. Damn you chemicals or nuclear waste or fertility drugs or whatever caused this!Photo credit: untamedsquid.blogspot.com

Anne and Nicholas from The Others 7 of 20

They are actually pretty nice kids, but they're very particular about keeping the curtains closed and the lights dimmed ... because they're dead.Photo credit: listal.com

He's not the Devil's son or related to a ghost or an alien or anything. He's just a really evil scary little kid.Photo credit: moviegoods.com

Chucky 11 of 20

He's not technically a baby, but an escaped prisoner who took the form of a child's toy. Makes you think twice about your son or daughter's stuffed animals, doesn't it?Photo credit: best-horror-movies.com

Henry Evan from The Good Son 12 of 20

Henry's (played by Macaulay Culkin) mom chose to let him fall off a cliff over his cousin, who would go on to become Frodo (Elijah Wood). When mom let's you plummet to your death, you know you've gotten on her bad side.Photo credit: whatireadandwatched.blogspot.com

Prince Joffrey Baratheon from Game of Thrones 13 of 20

This little SOB tricked his father into killing his girlfriend's pet wolf. Then once he assumed the throne, he had his girlfriend's father's head cut off. Oh, and his dad is also his uncle. Or something like that.Photo credit: hbo.com

Nellie Olson from Little House on The Prairie 14 of 20

She abuses Laura Ingalls' horse Bunny, then fakes paralysis after falling off the horse, which almost leads to the animal being killed. And those curls. Those evil curls. Photo credit: dearjackiecollins.blogspot.com

All this little teen punk did was try to deflower virgins. Every parent's worst nightmare. Photo credit: kidsthosedays.com

Samara from The Ring 18 of 20

Yes, her mom drowned her in the well, but she single-handedly ruined VHS, which was good for Netflix, until they raised their prices and had the whole Qwikster debacle. Wait, is she back?

The Grady Twins from The Shining 19 of 20

Next time you're alone in a hotel hallway, look for them. They like to run to the elevator.Photo credit: screenrant.com

Gage from Pet Sematary 20 of 20

This kid is actually adorably cute, before he dies, and gets resurrected in a pet cemetery. Then he starts stabbing and eating people and saying things like "I want to play with YOU DADDY!"Photo credit: thescaryscoop.blogspot.com
